4:00 am
>> all right. you can see more of anthony's adventure in the congo on tonight's season finale of "anthony bourdain parts unknown" tonight at 9:00 p.m. eastern on cnn. we've got much more ahead on "cnn sunday morning" which starts right now. good morning, everyone. i'm pamela brown. nice to have you here with us. we begin this morning with breaking news out of california. we now know the name of the suspected gunman in the rampage that left four people dead friday in santa monica. take a look right here looking at a 2006 year book photo of john zawahri. police say he began his shooting spree at a house where he killed his father samir and his brother chris. stephanie elam is in santa monica this morning. stephanie, what more have police said about the gunman. >> reporter: pamela, this is a story we've been following to get any details we can out of
4:01 am
this. one other thing we believe, according to police, is that john zawahri, he actually set the house on fire before he killed his brother and father. that's one thing they're telling us before he then carjacked a woman and then shot at a city bus. one other thing we are learning now too is the shooting happened a day before his 24th birthday. obviously, he was also killed in this shooting spree. we also have learned he attended a high school for people who are behind in credits as recently as 2006, and we also now know that as recently as 2010 that he was a student along with another family member at santa monica college as well, pamela. >> stephanie, police now know john zawahri amassed all of these weapons. do we know how? >> that is something that they definitely want to find out more about because he did have such a cache of weapons with him and ammunition. they're particularly interested in one rifle in particular. it's a .223 semiautomatic rifle.
4:02 am
that's highly regulated here in california. so they're very interested in learning exactly how he was able to get possession of that one rifle. >> and i know they're also trying to learn motive. any clues to a motive at this point? >> reporter: no clues yet, but there's a couple of things we can tell you. for one thing, police officials do not believe this had anything to do with terrorism. this was just a singular individual who just went off. they're also saying he was dealing with mental health issues and that he did get some treatment in 2006. police did have contact with him then, but he was a juvenile. because of that, no information was released. we also don't know whether or not it was the family that went to find treatment for him or if it was officials that put him into that treatment as well. this is the little bit of information we're getting about him, but it's still very sketchy at best to know what could have caused him to want to go shoot at people which seemingly right now seems like it was random on
4:03 am
friday afternoon. >> stephanie elam, thank you for that update. 98 days. that's how long it took police to apparently find a teacher missing in new orleans. a car belonging to terrilynn monette was pulled from a bayou yesterday. the body behind the wheel is believed to be hers. and if it wasn't for a police officer volunteering his time, that car might still be under water. cnn's nick valencia is here with more. nick, you've been following this story. how could it take so long to find her? by the way, police have searched this area before where the car was found. >> i was there in mid-march when police were bringing in divers. they brought in equisearch made famous during the natalee holloway investigation. they were combing the waterways of bayou st. john. they couldn't find her. the family are still very upset and looking for answers. >> how long the car been there? if they done searched this area,
4:04 am
this area been searched before 6789 it's really mind boggling to me. >> we never would have imagined this would have happened. how do we move on? >> it certainly wasn't for a lack of effort, pamela. they were passing out these buttons and flyers all throughout the area when i was there. everybody was looking for her. it was all hands on deck. yesterday it seems it's the closure but not the closure the family was hoping for. >> obviously not. it's been very tough for them. there's so many unanswered questions still, nick. they have found the car. we still don't know how it ended up in the bayou, or do we? >> it's an open criminal investigation at this point. up until now, the mother specifically, toni told me she believed that foul play was at hand. yesterday we talked to her best friend. it seems they quelled that. they believe that terrilynn may have left the bar and driven directly straight into the ba u bayou. having said that, it's still an
4:05 am
open investigation. the detectives are gathering evidence and poring over evidence. we won't know officially it's her body until the coroner's office comes out and announces it officially. >> but for now we're just waiting for official declaration. thank you for following the story for us. heart breaking news to pass along now. 10-year-old sarah murnaghan has taken a turn for the worse, we've learned. she's the little girl who p captured the hearts of so many. her fight for survival has sparked a national debate over transplant roles. her mother posted on facebook that doctors put a tube down her throat to help her breathe. you can imagine doctors watching how difficult this has been for her family. this comes after the emergency meeting of the group that sets national rules for lung transplants. members could change the policy that puts kids at the very end of the waiting list inform adult organs no matter how sick we
4:06 am
are. i talked to tom price of georgia, an orthopedic surgeon with two decades of experience. >> everyone ought to be treated equally. this is only fair. if the physicians involved, the transplant surgeon involved, the family and the institution is capable of doing this and they all believe the patient would be eligible for it if they were an adult, then there isn't any reason not to treat everybody equally. there's a process we go through -- again, it's scientists and gs iphysicians a transplant surgeons involved in all of this. it ought not be washington, d.c., and that's the point we're making >> we'll keep you up to date on tomorrow's hearing and how little sarah is doing. we wish her the best and hope she pulls through. and keeping secrets. turning now to the government, keeping secrets is essential to the government, but in the obama administration those secrets keep getting out, it seems, like the nsa data mining program which came to light this past week because of a leak. >> i don't welcome leaks because
4:07 am
there's a reason why these programs are classified. i think there is a suggestion that somehow any classified program is a, quote, unquote, secret program, which means it's somehow suspicious, but the fact of the matter is in our modern history there are a whole range of programs that have been classified. >> remember the nsa's phone tracking program had been going on for several years and congress knew about it. it's not the biggest, just the latest leak to hamstring the obama administration. the white house is launching an investigation to find out how that secret got out. >> what we're focused on doing right now -- and you see this in the dni statement -- is frankly doing an assessment of damage done to national security by the
4:08 am
revelation of this information, which is necessarily secret because the united states needs to be able to conduct intelligence activities without those methods being revealed to the world. currently, there's an investigation under way to understand what potential damage may be done. as it related to any potential investigations, we're still in the early stages of this. obviously, the justice department would have to be involved in that. so this is something i think will be addressed in the coming days by the justice department, the intelligence community in consultation with the full interagency that's been affected by these very disturbing leaks of national security administration. >> leaks are nothing new to the administration. just a couple weeks ago, the administration was gettinging heat over the search of the phone records of the reporters as part of a leak investigation looking into how details of a foiled terror plot were revealed. the information getting out put the american people at risk. and then the james rosen case,
4:09 am
the journalist who reported on a failed plot targeting the iranian government. that information was leaked from a cia source. just this week, we saw the sort of the court martial of private bradley manning, the one accuseded of leaking thousands of documents to wikileaks. all of them are troubling to the administration, and that's why "usa today" has reported that the obama administration has launched more leak investigations than any other administration combined. does that hurt the administration in the eyes of the american people? you be the judge. when asked if honest and trustworthy, 58% said yes. when asked about the phone record affair, 43% said the justice department was out of line. but 53% approving of how president obama is handling his job. south africans are praying this morning for nelson mandela.

way for higher level talks on wednesday. south africans are praying this morning for their beloved former president nelson mandela. so many people tried logging onto the president's website to hear about him, the website crashed. kapile is live at the hospital where he is staying. what is the latest on his condition? >> reporter: we haven't heard any new updates. the latest update we got was from the south african presidency, who basically controlled communication around nelson mandela's health. they say he's being treated for pneumonia and is breathing by himself. nothing new right now. when the story broke, we were told that mr. mandela was rushed to hospital at 1:30 in the morning on saturday with his wife by his side. we understand that he had been ill for a couple of days, and,
4:15 am
of course, doctors found it worrying enough to rush him to hospital at that hour. we are expecting we may get an update today from the presidency, but that has not yet been mentioned by them. >> nkepile, you mentioned that nelson mandela's wife has been by his bedside. what have we heard from the family? >> reporter: the family is not speaking at the moment, but every time he is rushed to hospital, he has been in hospital four times since december, many people who are closest to mr. mandela say they find comfort in the fact that he is a fighter. and these are the sentiments really that were echoed by his grandson, who spoke to me exclusively last week thursday in capetown. this is what he had to say about his grandfather's health. >> he's been able to show his
4:16 am
strength through being able to overcome the challenges he's had, and he continues to be in our family the monument we all draw our strength from. i want to say he's my role model, one person that i will forever treasure. >> reporter: around the country today, many people praying for mr. mandela to recover very quickly, but i think the fact he has been in and out of hospital so many times recently has reminded south africans the inevitable will eventually happen. this is something that south africans have not wanted to face for many, many years. he is very old. he's turning 95 next month, and i think many south africans feeling they want him to be discharged from hospital, but

also loving him so much they don't want him to suffer any longer, pamela. >> certainly a somber day in south africa. nkepile, thank you so much for being live with us there. curators at the holocaust memorial museum in washington have spent months collecting artifacts from survivors. we'll show you those precious objects, many of them never before seen by the public.

4:20 am
for 20 years the holocaust memorial museum in washington, d.c., recognized one of the darkest moments in history. its latest goal is to collect artifacts from those who survived the nazi years. it culminates today in chicago. i'm joined by susie snyder in
4:21 am
chicago. she's a curator with the holocaust museum. susie, thanks for being with us. first off, why is it so important to launch this project now? >> i think 20 years after we've opened, we are looking at a diminishing survivor community, and this is the last chance we might have to speak with survivors of the holocaust. so the artifacts that we collect on the road these past six months are really the last groups of materials we will get from survivors. from that point on, we depend on the next generation. when we have no survivors, these artifacts are the things that will speak to us. >> and let's talk about some of these items, suusie. most of them have never been seen by the public before and have been made available exclusive to cnn. let's talk about the uniforms we have here. take a look. what can you tell us about the uniforms? >> the uniforms were worn by a father and son originally from germany.
4:22 am
they were deported to the cracow ghetto and from there worked for oscar schindler. the uniforms were put away, and only after the son passed away did the uniforms come to light. so it was amazing that nieces of the gentlemen had found the uniforms, and they chose to donate them at our new york venue. >> with each artifact comes just an incredible story, susie, as you said there. you've also collected passports. what can we learn from the names and the photos in these documents? >> the passports are interesting because generally they were issued after 1938, and they were issued -- most passports were issued to the general public. in these cases, these passports have the middle name sara or israel, indicating the person that was the bearer was a jew. that gives us a the lot of insight. also, within the passport, their

travel is documented with stamps. it tells us how they got out. if they got out in 1938 or 1939. some of them got out as late as 1941. >> and susie, you also have some very personal items. it gives you chills when you think about this. a little girl's dress and a stuffed bunny. what do objects like this teach us about the holocaust? >> these objects are very personal images to people, and many of our survivors wait until later in their life to donate these objects because, for example, it's the one thing they carried with them or the first object that they had. in the case of the bunny, it was given to a child who was really very young and in the concentration camp. the bunny was made for her by another victim in the camp. for her, it's not only her memory but it's the first object she carried with. the blouse is a similar story. it came with a little girl when
4:24 am
she was a viennese refugee arriving in the united states in 1938. for her this was the tangible object she brought with her. >> susie, you've written an essay about the holocaust museum's latest project. you can findhis and more photos at cnn.com/opinion. thank you so much for being with us. falling to her knees in celebration, serena williams made history once again at the french open this weekend. but first, let's check in with dr. sanjay gupta for a look at what's coming up on sgmd at the bottom of the hour. good morning, sanjay. >> pamela, i'm going to take a closer look at performance enhancing drugs, testosterone and growth hormones specifically. not just pros, but a lot of athletes are taking these. they're real risks, and the drugs may not do what you think they're going to do. also, the latest research on
